Upgrading the Kernel

If you run the up2date utility to upgrade the kernel, the DKMS enabled driver packages must be reinstalled. To do so, type the following in the same order in a terminal window.:

dkms build -m <module_name> -v <module version> -k <kernel version> dkms install -m <module_name> -v <module version> -k <kernel version>

Check whether the driver is successfully installed in the new kernel by typing:

dkms status

You must see a message similar to the following one on the screen:

<driver name>, <driver version>, <new kernel version>: installed
